‘Astonishing’ Facebook Intervention Could Have Compromised Cambridge Analytica Evidence, Says U.K.
Consultants sent by social network were kicked out of Cambridge Analytica’s London offices late Monday, as authorities in the U.S. and U.K. fear evidence may have been destroyed.
Facebook has been plunged into crisis over the allegations that Cambridge Analytica misused data from more than 50 million people to help elect Donald Trump. Nearly $40 billion was wiped off Facebook’s market value Monday, an emergency meeting is due to be held Tuesday morning, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been criticized for remaining silent during what some analysts are describing as a threat to the company’s existence.
Zuckerberg has been summoned to the British parliament to give evidence about the how it handles people’s personal data. The head of a British inquiry into ‘fake news,’ Damian Collins, has accused Facebook of previously ‘misleading’ a parliament committee, adding: “It is now time to hear from a senior Facebook executive with the sufficient authority to give an accurate account of this catastrophic failure of process.”
As anger grew toward Cambridge Analytica on Monday after Britain’s Channel 4 broadcast a report showing company executives boasting about their extreme propaganda strategies, including filming opponents in compromising situations with Ukrainian sex workers, authorities in the U.K. and the U.S. also questioned whether Facebook mishandled the alleged breach and it’s now facing damaging investigations that will further tarnish its brand.

Not the time to take a vacation however as the back channels will light up Thursday due to the scurrying. A good day to study but not act. The cries of we didn’t know have to be weeded. Next Monday is the week of lies, and everything must be questioned. Even our own thoughts. Best to wait to April 4th and beyond, for sorting.
Could we just have you read this aloud on you-tube. Better than a poetry slam.
Is Zuckerberg really rich, or is he just a cut-out figurehead for the real owners of Facebook (CIA and/or Mossad?)?
Nice reaction! These news are since the morning in Russian TV. Thanks for the article! But will it change anything? 1% of US people watch it and perceive, 99% do not know outer countries and geography. Standing in the lines for new iPhone and hamburgers…
The texting and driving is so bad that I believe brain implants will be the next step.
Singular events do not create change, but multiple events strung together from a common purpose do, they say a singe person can change the world, but it is usually the actions that follow an idea that actually do the work. The world does not like war and killing innocent people so wealthy individuals can have a 50 foot yacht instead of a 30 foot. We agree on this and it has staying power.
VT, thanks for being right all the time. Here’s something I find interesting..
The owner of Cambridge Analytica, Robert Mercer, is one of 100+ “chosenites” that supported Trump’s campaign to the White house. He is the principal benefactor of the Make America Number One super PAC. He also played a key role in the Brexit movement… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Mercer_(businessman)
EXACTLY, and the idea that Chump is not owned by this filth is ludicrous.
the whole “trump vs the establishment” narrative is a lie, a lie to keep Americans supporting that treasonous turd, while he does the work of the tribe.
Chump has deported less illegals than did Obama, and that is saying something. Chump is a zionist globalist.
Nevertheless333, below is a link to a VT article where I posted the whole list of 100+ chosenites in alphabetical order. It’s the 6th comment from the top. Show this list to anyone who doubts that Trump is Shlomo’s donkey.
